Tube receiver assembled and detached rapidly

ABSTRACT

A tube receiver has a winding disk and a body. The winding disk is extended with a shaft which is capable of being engaged to the body. Therefore, the winding disk pivotally rotates along the body. The shaft has an annular buckling groove at an end passing through the body. A slidable buckle installed at the body is configured with respect to the buckling groove of the shaft. The buckle has a flange. The flange is engaged to the buckling groove of the shaft for confining the axial position of the shaft. As the flange of the buckle separates from the buckling groove of the shaft, the winding disk will separate from the body.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a tube receiver, andparticularly to a tube receiver which can be assembled and detached fromthe body rapidly.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002]FIG. 5 shows a prior tube receiver. In this portion, a frame 81 ispivotally installed with a winding wheel 82. The center of the windingwheel 82 has a winding portion 83 for winding a water tube. The windingportion 83 has a receiving groove 84 for receiving a joint as a distalend of a water tube. An outer side of the winding wheel 82 is installedwith a handle 85 for rotating the winding wheel 82. Moreover, a pair ofrollers 86 are installed on the frame 81. A spacing between the rollers86 is passed by a water tube. As winding the water tube, the roller 86is compressed to have a flat shape for reducing the volume.

[0003] In aforesaid tube receiver, the winding portion 83 must be pulledout completely from the winding wheel 82 as using the water tube.However, since the water tube winds around the receiving portion 83, andwater flows through the rollers 86, a larger force is desired forpulling the water tube and thus, time is consumed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is toprovide a tube receiver having a winding disk and a body. The windingdisk extends with a shaft capable of being engaged to the body.Therefore, the winding disk pivotally rotates along the body. The shafthas an annular buckling groove at an end passing through the body. Aslidable buckle installed at the body is configured with respect to thebuckling groove of the shaft. The buckle has a flange. The flange isengaged to the buckling groove of the shaft for confining the axialposition of the shaft. As the flange of the buckle separates from thebuckling groove of the shaft, the winding disk will separate from thebody. Therefore, the tube receiver may be assembled and detached fromthe body rapidly.

[0005] The various objects and advantages of the present invention willbe more readily understood from the following detailed description whenread in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] In order that those skilled in the art can further understand thepresent invention, a description will be described in the following indetails. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are onlyused to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects,features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to beused to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined inthe appended claims.

[0012] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the tube receiver of the presentinvention is illustrated. The tube receiver of the present invention hasthe following components.

[0013] A winding disk 1 has a center portion. A shaft 11 extends fromthe winding disk 1. The shaft 11 is installed with a receiving groove 12for receiving a joint 13 of a water tube 3. The winding disk 1 isinstalled with a holding portion 13 at a side opposite to the side beingextended with the shaft 11. The winding disk 1 has a pivotal portion 14at the side near the shaft 11. The shaft 11 has an annular bucklinggroove 111 at the side far away from the winding disk 1.

[0014] A body 2 has a first lateral wall 21 and a second lateral wall22. The first lateral wall 21 and second lateral wall 22 have areceiving space 23 therebetween. The first lateral wall 21 and secondlateral wall 22 have a first receiving hole 211 and a second receivinghole 221, respectively, at positions with respect to the pivotal portion14 and shaft 11 of the winding disk 1 for being inserted by the pivotalportion 14 and shaft 11 of the winding disk 1. The winding disk 1 maypivotally rotate on the body 2 and the buckling groove 111 on the shaft11 is positioned on a section of the shaft 11 protruding from the secondlateral wall 22. The second lateral wall 22 is installed with tracks222. A buckle 24 travels along the two tracks 222. The buckle 24 hassliding trenches 241 with respect to the two tracks 222. The buckle 24has a flange 242 with respect to the buckling groove 111 of the shaft11. The flange 242 has a cambered shape matching to the shaft 11.Thereby, as the buckle 24 is pushed, it may be embedded into thebuckling groove 111 from the flange 242 so as to confine the axialposition of the shaft 11. As a consequent, as the buckle 24 is pushedand then the first lateral wall 21 is separated from the buckling groove111, the winding disk 1 may separate from the body 2. The buckle 24 hasa protrusion 243 protruding toward the second lateral wall 22. Thesecond lateral wall 22 of the body 2 has a first concave portion 223 anda second concave portion 224 at position corresponding to that of theflange 242 of the buckle 24 embedded into the buckling groove 111 andseparated from the buckling groove 111 with respect to the protrusion243. Thereby, the when the flange 242 is embedded into and separatedfrom the buckling groove 111, the buckle 24 has a function of fixing andbuckling.

[0015] The receiving space 23 in the body 2 serves to receive a rewindwater tube 3. The body 2 has an opening 25 for being inserted by thewater tube 3. The opening 25 extends to penetrate the first lateral wall21. A tube compressing device 26 is disposed at the opening 25 forcompressing the water tube 3 as it passes through the opening 25. Thetube compressing device may have any desired shape known by thoseskilled in the art. In this embodiment, the tube compressing device 26is a pair of roller 261. A spacing is formed between the two water tubes261.

[0016] In using, if it is desired to rewind the water tube 3, the buckle24 on the body 2 is firstly pushed, so that the flange 242 is separatedfrom the buckling groove 111. Then, the joint 31 at the distal end ofthe water tube 3 is placed into the receiving groove 12 of the windingdisk 1, and the water tube 3 passes through the space between the tworoller 261 of the tube compressing device 26. Then the winding disk 1 isassembled with the body 2. The flange 242 of the buckle 24 is engaged tothe buckling groove 111 of the shaft 11. Therefore, the holding portion13 of the winding disk 1 can be held for rotating the winding disk 1 sothat the water tube 3 winds around the shaft 11 for winding the watertube. As it is desired to take the water tube 3 out for use. It is onlynecessary to push the buckle 24 so that the flange 242 separates fromthe buckling groove 111. Therefore, the winding disk 1 separates fromthe body 2. Therefore, the water tube 3 can be pulled out rapidly, asshown in FIG. 4. Thus, the user may use the water tube 3 rapidly.

[0017] In summary, in the present invention, the section of the shaft 11passing out of the body has an annular buckling groove 111 and thebuckle 24 of the body 2 with respect to the buckling groove 111 has aflange 242. The flange 242 of the buckle 24 can be buckled into thebuckling groove 111 of the shaft 11 for confining the axial position ofthe shaft 11. Therefore, as the flange 242 of the buckle 24 is separatedfrom the buckling groove 111, the winding disk 1 will separate from thebody 2. Therefore, the winding disk 1 can be assembled and detached fromthe body 2.

[0018] Other the aforesaid structure, the buckle 24 may be further addedwith a restoring structure so that the flange 242 of the buckle 24sustains to be engaged to the buckling groove 111 of the shaft 11. Therestoring structure has a configuration known by those skilled in theart, for example, a spring. The buckle 24 is confined by the spring sothat the flange 242 sustains to be engaged to the buckling groove 111 ofthe shaft 11.

[0019] The present invention are thus described, it will be obvious thatthe same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to beregarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the presentinvention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilledin the art are intended to be included within the scope of the followingclaims.
